9xx nVidia drivers vs 8xx
I've stayed with the 8xx nVidia driver because
it allows custom resolutions ... like 1280x800 in place of unreadable native 1680x1050. Very few, if any, games will run at 1680x1050, but nearly all will do fine at 1280x800. I tried a 9xx driver, but it would not allow me to run coolbits or set custom resolutions at all. Card is BFG GF 7900 GTO. Has this changed, or is there a new coolbits for the 9xx drivers now? Also, the 9xx driver blocks HDTV resolutions my ATI Theater Pro 550e tries to use. I have no problems there with the 8xx driver. Why did nVidia do this ? johns

Coolbits 2.0 and custom resolutions are both fine in the Classic control panel (Coolbits didn't work properly with 93.71).

* johns:
Very few, if any, games will run at 1680x1050, but nearly all will do fine at 1280x800. Can't confirm that. Every game that supports widescreen resolutions should work just fine in 1680x1050... Benjamin
